Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 1402, it appears that Jacob Ellis , while a resident of Walpole, Massachusetts, enlisted, date not given, and served eight months in Captain Seth Bullard's Company in Colonel Joseph Read's Massachusetts Regiment. He then enlisted in Captain Parsons' Company in Colonel Joseph Read's Massachusetts Regiment and served one year. He then enlisted in Captain Elisha Brewer's Company in Colonel Brewer's Massachusetts Regiment and served nine months. He was in the battles of Frog Point and White Plains.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 9, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Richland, Oswego County, New York, aged sixty-two years.
He died, March 15, 1842.
He married in March, 1799, in Manlius, Onondaga County,

New York, Latitia Halsted. She was allowed pension on her application executed January 11, 1849, while a resident of Vernon, Oneida County, New York, aged seventy-seven years.
In September 1850, she lived in Mendon, Michigan. In 1853, she lived in Vernon, New York.
This is the only soldier by the name of Jacob Ellis that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
This bureau is unable to furnish the history of but two soldiers of the Revolution to each inquirer, due to the large number of requests and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
